Sherlock's back! The world's greatest detective comes back from the dead. But how did he do it? We go behind-the-scenes of the first episode cast read-through, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman where the answer to television's greatest mystery was first revealed. And we uncover the unlikely friendship between Sherlock Holmes and Dr John Watson.

The stars of Sherlock talk about the women in the life of TV's greatest detective. Sherlock Holmes may be great at solving mysteries, but he's clueless about women. We launch an investigation into the women in Sherlock's life. Mary Morstan is marrying his best friend. Irene Adler stole his heart. He doesn't know Molly exists. And Mrs Hudson's always there to pick up the pieces.

We meet the great villains who've battled with TV's greatest detective. There's Jim Moriarty, his nemesis. There's Charles Augustus Magnussen, the only man Sherlock Holmes truly hates. And then there's Mycroft Holmes - Sherlock's brother and the last word in sibling rivalry. All of them have had influence over those closest to Sherlock. And all of them cause him grief.

Find out how writers Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss created the television hit Sherlock, taking Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original adventures of the Victorian super sleuth and transforming them into a worldwide sensation. And we go behind the scenes on set with the stars of Sherlock. Featuring interviews with lead actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

In this un-aired one hour pilot, our modern day Sherlock and John meet for the first time in contemporary London. A serial killer is on the loose and the only connection is a seeming obsession with th colour pink. Sherlock, an analytical and deduction obsessive, is helping the police out with their enquiries just for fun, when he runs into potential flatmate Dr John Watson, just back from serving in the war in Afghanistan and sporting a limp. Together the two make a formidable duo...

Great show To sum this show up in a few words, the best way to say it is that after you've watched sherlock all other crime dramas seem dull annoying and slow because Sherlock is such a genius and the story and acting is superb, top 5 shows!

What a show I was so worried it was going to be a load of rubbish as it is more now, and I couldn't have been more wrong its a great show I love how they end they just leave you wanting more they try to leave it at the best bit which I know as I am an actress my two daughters love even though they're seven years old it couldn't have been better congratulations on the making of this great show as well thankyou

Sherlock Holmes is a high functioning sociopath, with a rather incredible brain! Oh my gosh, one of the best tv series I have ever wwatched- Scandal in Belgravia is hilarious and introduces the love element into the series- maybe my favourite episode! But watch the first series before you download these three. Can't wait for season three!!!!!

Best detective tv show ever! Sherlock is an amazing tv show to enjoy when you feel bored or if you are in need of excitement. I would recommend this fantastic show to anyone over 7.(plus it is a bit bloody)

One of the grates By fare this is one of the best serices ever made its flash back clips and plot twists have you on the edge of your seat thru out. these wannabe critticks that don't no the first thing about making a good show that still live with there parents sat at home in there underpants eating fast food with nothing better to do than bag on a brilliant peace of ingenuity and artistic brilliance don't now what they are talking about this should have more than a five star rating just for the story line.

BEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN I can't believe I waited so long to watch this but i got to watch them all without the 2 year break which I don't think I could bare! I honestly didn't think I'd like it but I was so so so so wrong - Probably the best show I've ever watched, the acting is fab!! I would say series 1 and 2 are better than 3 but they're all amazing! And I love that the episodes are so long too, its like each one's a film. Seriously suggest you watch it, you won't regret it.

Over rated For some reason, the American audience likes this nonsense. Plot that repeatedly insults the viewer's intelligence. Mark Gatis and friends deliver a show that entertains only if you're prepared to accept ridiculous crap.

Possibly to good! This is the best crime drama. Not only well written, excellently acted but also beautifully presented with brilliant wit. The only falling being that there is not enough because it leaves you wanting more and everything else seems so dull and amateur by comparison.

One of the most engaging modern dramas As a classic Sherlock Holmes fan, I was worried this modern take would give off totally the wrong vibe. I couldn't have been more wrong. A hugely entertaining tale, with top-drawer actors doing their thing.

Magnificent It's amazing nothing could be better. I wanna say to the makers not to be amazed with the praising they face but to leave on one side and be more creative. Because we need such an amazing productive creativity. We wanna see more

A great take of the classic detective. This modern version of the great Sherlock Holmes is very well played and introduces a great younger side to the old detective. I feel this version has not only impressed the readers of the classic books but the young audience as well. Especially the fans of the Doctor Who series. I am now enticed in reading the old book and I am more proud of our British history in fiction. Benedict makes a great Sherlock and Martin also plays a great sidekick Watson. If the research was done properly I'm sure the series could go on more than 4 seasons. After watching the two seasons carefully and in much excitement I am now proud of saying I am a fan and will also remember this BBC series when I get older.

Woo, Sherlock! I wa feeling a bit stingy at first and was only going to give it 4 stars, but it truly is excellent. Moffat and Gatiss get more credit for the writing than most, but I feel it is deserved. And the cast gets applause for their performance as well. It may have the occasional rough edge; one or two moments of bad acting or slight convolution of the plot, but other than that it's sleek, modern and a perfect legacy for Sherlock Holmes. ☆☆☆☆☆

THE BEST SHOW EVER!!! It is amazing everybody will love it, if you haven't seen it on the BBC you should watch this, because you are missing out. Also if you are a Sherlock Holmes like me you should check out Elementary, also a very good modern day Holmes. Love the plots, comedy and twists Sherlock holds, watch it. Also people are saying it is to expensive, but each episode is 1 hour and a half long so its like buying 3 films.

You will love this This show is amazing. You will love this I promise. It is worth every penny. You will laugh and you will cry and then you will have your heart ripped out stomped on then feed to you. After that you will be forced to endure a 2 year wait for the resolution only to have your heart ripped out all over again next series. Amazingly you will still be singing the shows praises to anyone who will listen and if they won't listen you will make them listen. Yes the show really is that good.

Gaitiss makes this Alone, Steven Moffatt is competent but pretty restricted writer, who fails when it comes to women and can destroy perfectly good story arcs (see Matt Smith's time as The Doctor). Luckily, Mark Gaitiss is both a decent actor and excellent writer. You can tell he genuinely loves Cohan Doyle's original books. In season three, they seem to have a much better grip on the editing (some scenes were especially dodgy in s2, like Sherlock's 'mind palace') but it easily remains one of the best things on British TV.

Seriously disappointing production. I'm a massive Sherlock Holmes fan: From the original canon, through the radio and black and white film productions of the Rathborne / Bruce period right up to "Sherlock" and "Elementary". To me, the production of Sherlock seriously lets it down. The script writing is good, the plots are clever with smartly placed nods towards the previous Sherlock Holmes works, and the acting is good - but the whole post production process completely destroys the series for me. Nowhere is this more obvious than by watching the two different versions of the pilot which were filmed - they're identical in terms of scripting, but the origional unaired version (on the Season 1 DVD) carries the character of Holmes far better - There's none of the camera darting all over the place with ridiculous facts and numbers spashed on top of the scene, Sherlock just figures stuff out. Conan Doyle's Sherlock is a smart guy who these days we'd describe as "on the spectrum" - he grafts hard, focuses on things, and figures stuff out. I think the production of "Sherlock" (especially post production) completely destroys the characterization. I find "Elementary" far truer to Holmes' true character.

Magnificent TV - Conan Doyle would be delighted Just as "Elementary" is an insult to the great writing of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, "Sherlock" would have delighted him. Elementary's politically correct garbage is a stench of rotting fish in comparison to Sherlock ONLY thing that irritated me was the queers and lesbians (and some women for some weird and repulsive reason) kept a homosexual fascination about Sherlock and Watson which got steadily more repulsive as the series went on. The WRITERS even had to make it blatantly clear they were NOT gay - and one of them (Gattiss) IS gay

Fantastic Best BBC program ever made, BBC usually make terrible TV shows and im including Dr. Who in this, but This adaptation of Sherlock is fantastic, very well written and the actors are amazing at their respective roles.

Amazing Its such a good show. It leaves you biting your nails, wondering whats going to happen next... Jaw Dropping, Great, and I would DEFINITELY recommend. Full of suspense, The characters are good at acting and just... GREAT

Incredible I had my doubts in the beginning but after seeing the hound of the Baskerville's and listening to interviews with the cast and crew my doubts were allayed. This show is made by fans of the original material and it has not been dumbed down at all. I watched the rest of the episodes as soon as I could after Baskerville's, and I cannot say a bad word about any of them. Great acting, great writing, great all round.

Good programme, ruined by Google's compression Sherlock is great, and on a small device its great, however when I played this back on my telly I could see the compression. Definitely don't pay for HD, I doubt it will be any better.

AMAZING Love this so much! Very funny, exciting and interesting. Great plot twists and cliffhangers! Love the actors and actresses -especially andrew scott (I think) as Moriarty. No wonder this is so amazing when there are great minds behind it - steven moffat and mark gatiss

Quite simply the best show! AMAZING!!!! You'll be gripped from start to finish every episode. The acting is superb from all of the cast, this mixed with the sublime attention to detail of the storyline is a winning combination. Therefore, it is without a doubt that I can declare that this TV show is the best thing I have ever seen.

BEST TV PROGRAM EVER! Sherlock is the best TV program i have ever watched (along with doctor who of course). Benedict Cumberbatch plays the amazing Sherlock Holmes perfectly and beautifully, as does Martin Freeman as John Watson. Andrew Scott and Lara Pulver who also star in the series' portray their characters without fault. I definitely recommend!

LOVE LOVE LOVE This is my favourite show EVER. It's beautifully written, the actors are absolutely brilliant, the cinematography is fab and it's just so DIFFERENT to any other rendition of Sherlock Holmes. I could honestly rant all day about how much I love this show! :)

Eh... **POTENTIAL SPOILERS** "Just a tinsy bit...disappointed..." I don't feel this series was worth waiting two years for, It was rather boring and each episode seemed to decay Sherlock Holmes from his power to stun an audience into thinking "what a man", nothing he did seemed to impress me as the previous two series, it seems slightly rushed and far too predictable (but I think that was partly due to the writing) the answer for how he faked is own death seemed rather "Johnathan creek" and quite over the top.

Amazing Show Really great show, cannot praise it enough! Like many of my fellow fans out there, I can quote every line by heart. Please don't give this show a one star review because you can watch it on iplayer for free. First, you have to be connected to the internet for iplayer, which is pretty inconvenient. I like to own my favoirite tv shows so that's why I bought it. Secondly, you are meant to be reviewing the quality of the actial show, not whether or not you want to pay for it. Rate the programme, people!

It's not free for everyone.. Tired of reading lame comments along the lines of, 'why pay for something when you can watch it on iplayer for free', well because iplayer is blocked outside of the UK (obviously). Idiots. Great show btw.

Brilliant A modern take on A C Doyle's super sleuth. It works, the cast, the production values, the way the stories are rewritten for today's technology and yet honour the original stories. One of the best, up there with Jeremy Brett's portrayal of Holmes.

Amazing The greatest British tv drama to have ever crossed our screens. The excellently cut camera angles with the added insight into sherlock's mind, and thought process continue to add to the overall perfection of the series.

Best TV Series Ever Sherlock is, from my point of view, the best TV series ever created. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman work very well together to create a funny, exciting and entertaining series.
